Simply put, slut-shaming go so far as to humiliate a woman or man, but particularly women for being scantily clad, and/or engaging in provocative behavior around his or her sexuality. By way of contrast, seductive journalism targets women or men in the industry of journalism who are dressed in such a way in that it infringes upon the norms of professional dress in a sexually provocative manner, and as a result creates a needless distraction while broadcasting the news. In other words, audiences of the news may become annoyed by journalists who exposes too much cleavage or chests while reporting the news. Moreover, journalists could also give the impression that dressing provocatively help sells the news which may not go over so well among varying demographics. Grab a seductive journalism tee.
